but it’s important (and required).

Operation Encore (“we”, “our”, “us”, or “OE”) respects the privacy of its users and is fully
committed to protect their personal data and use it in accordance with data privacy laws. This
Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and process any personal data that we collect from

donation platform and merchandise store. By using the OE website, you consent to the data
practices described in this statement.
